These are actually full (well, almost full) keyboards with a wireless USB dongle which broadcasts/receives at 2.4GHz. So, it's basically mocking a regular USB keyboard and mouse. The key codes it's sending are the same you would get from any USB keyboard. They just don't have all of the keys you do on a regular keyboard. And, certain keys require a modifier key to be pressed (number keys and non-letters mostly). But, that is transparent to the underlying computer.

Does LinuxMCE identify and handle inputs from specific devices separately/differently than inputs from other devices in the same class? In other words, can I create a key map that treats the key presses of this particular keyboard/mouse combination different from any other keyboard/mouse combination? I do know that these keyboards identify themselves specifically by name in their USB IDs. However, there are multiple models of these devices, some of which are not like these and include function keys that are available by hitting a modifier key. I don't know how specifically they ID themselves (i.e.: model number, etc).

See my User page on the LinuxMCE Wiki for a description of my system configuration (click the little globe under my profile pic).

I've abandoned my efforts to get the ipazzports to work, in favor of the latest arrivals, 3 rii 6i mini keyboards with IR remote,...

They are absolutely the singularly BEST HTPC keyboards in existence, and reasonably priced... (see pic below). Compact, easy to use, functionality galore (you can simulate a mouse scroll wheel by hitting the function key and scrolling your finger up and down on the touch pad, ... unbelievably awesome for scrolling through channels in live TV mode).

Enough of my unpaid sponsorship, though,... I would still like to explore how the keyboard shortcuts are assigned in LinuxMCE. Remapping them may become a feature we might want to explore, and one I would like to pursue in my (fleeting) spare time. How are the keyboard shortcuts defined??
